Distributed Social Networking Protocol (DSNP) is an open-source protocol designed to enable decentralized social networking by allowing interoperability between platforms. Decentralized networks using protocols such as DSNP can implicitly help to enable increased user anonymity, thus enhancing a user's security and privacy. It allows individuals to connect across various platforms and tools without having to create and manage separate accounts, potentially reducing the division between users of individual platforms.
